This is an interesting use of DGPS signals. Given the number of base stations around the globe, I wonder if this type of data could be used to research other human-made or cosmic effects - ala interferometry.

This is something I’ve always thought about doing, but lack the in-depth RF/demodulation knowledge to undertake. Glad to see the SDR community is already on top of it!

A bird detection system such as this (less so species detection and more so avian detection) would be very useful at airports where bird strikes are quite common, and where humans are regularly used to sight for birds near/around runwa

Looks like a clone of Joe’s work. Sensors, capability, and even board layout are quite similar. Surprised there’s no mention of Joe and his “AVA” on the git.

Rather than praising some of these systems and lambasting others, CR should reach out to manufacturers documenting what their testing results were, and how to improve systems. We have CVE reporting, why not something similar for vehicle aut

Didn’t know about the trickle charging, neat! Problem with attaching a load is that if you want to build a standalone unit with the nest, you’ll need some type of inverter when powered off DC, or perhaps a simple sine wave generator? I’m mo

I attempted something similar, at least on the nest side of things. I quickly realized the nest wouldn’t recognize any attached equipment unless connected to a 24vac line. I always wondered how the nest derived DC power to charge its intern

New Shepard is a suborbital rocket. It reaches apogee (velocity drops to zero), and drops back to land propulsively. It’s possible it experiences zero-G for more than just a few milliseconds at its apogee. Hence the 0mph velocity.

As did I. Up until now, I had watched maybe two videos about beekeeping in the past 6 years. I wonder if we’re all are “binned” into some YouTube nerd classification.

I took this class in person during this past IAP. It’s an info packed 3 days, but certainly worth it. Would recommend to anyone who’s interested in learning about flying or getting their PPL.
